REVIVAL OF SNUFF TAKING.
The Story that Comes Across the Allan
tic-practice i'm ColouiaI Times

The Story that Comes Across the Allan
tic-Practice in Colonial Times
The report comes from Paris that the prac-
tice of snuff taking will be resuscitated dur
ing the coming winter by the dandies of the
French capital The young men are hunting
up their ancestral snuff boxes and studying
old family pictures in order TO acquire the
graceful style of taking pinch practiced by
the old court gallants. Pawnbrokers and
dealers in Anticipated articles have realized
very large sums for snuff boxes that have
lain on their shelves for forty or fifty
years. Most extravagant prices have been
paid for snuff boxes that belonged to MEM
bers of the old nobility. Several jewellers
are engaged in making snuff boxes Of an
tique and original designs. In many club
rooms ornamental vases, filed with various
kinds of snuff, stand on the tables or man
tells.
In colonial times, during the revolutionary
war, and for many years afterward, the use
of snuff was very common in this country.
Nearly every gentleman carried silver
snuff box, which was often inlaid with gold.
AT the entrance of the senate chamber, in
the national Capitol at Washington, are large
receptacles for snuff, at which members of
that august body once filled their boxes on
passing into their seats in the morning.
MANY can remember the time when the snuff
box was passed around in social circles every
few minutes and when it was as common to
ask for a pinch Of snuff as it now is to ask
for a light for cigar or for chew of to-
bacco Poor people generally used snuff be-
cause it was cheap, or, more properly, be-
cause "a little went good ways" The use
| Of snuff became general in all northern
countries, especially in Scotland, Holland,
| Sweden and Norway. In Iceland nearly
every person used large quantities of snuff,
| which was kept in an ornamented horn. The
practice was, and perhaps is, to insert the
.'little end of the horn" in the nostrl and
| to thurnp the large end so as to discharge a
portion of the contents. The host often
walked among his guests and performed this
office as mari; Of hospitality. Sometimes
servants or members of the family were in
struct.R how to handle the snuff horn with
grace aud dexterity. Before the invention of
friction matches considerable difficulty was
found in lighting cigars and pipes, but the
snuff box was always ready TO bring forth.
Forty years ago there was scarcely grocery
in the country that did not keep several kinds
of snuff, and the name of one Scotch manu-.
facturer was known throughout the civilized
world.
The use of snuff has been steadily declining
in almost every country in the world during
period of fifty years. Various reasons may
be assigned for its gradual disuse. SO far a.
deleterious effects are concerned, shutting to
bacco is open to the least objection, as th'
| amount of nicotine taken into the system il
very small. This method of using tobacco il
also attended by the smallest expense to tn

The Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st. Paul
Railway company has discharged all
brakemen, firemen and other employees
engaged in running trains, under twenty
one years of age, and hereafter no one
will be employed in such capacity who has
not reached that age. The cause of this
action of the company is recent decis-
ion of the supreme court of Minnesota
holding the company 10 a much stricter
accountability in cases of injury to such
employees than where the employe is past
age. Irrespective of the cause which led
to the action, it is wise and humane
one. and doubtless will be followed by
other railroad companies. The position
of brakeman is at all times responsible
and dangerous, and requires much mort
caution and judgment than the average
brakeman even of mature years posses
| ses. The company also adopted furtheI
rule requiring all applicants for admission
to their service to pass an examination il
reading and writing and other elemen,
tary branches, and only such as can pas
satisfactory examination will be re
ceived. The c., B. & Q. has been pur
suing this plan for some years. and it ha
| proved very satisfactory.

How William Cox Aided in Rescu-

Penitentiary From Lite of Dis
Rraae and raary

How William Cox Aided in Reseu-
ing a FelIOw.PrisOner in a Nebraska
Penitentiary From a Life of Dis
grace and Misery.
Many of our citizens were well ac-
quainted in his life time, with Augustus
D. Cox, prominent and respected far
mer who lived short distance from
Rapids City. He died in September,
1885. Sometime before his death Mr..
Cox was greatly troubled on account Of
difficulty which his son William got
into while in a saloon in Nebraska where
William lived. In a quarrel with another
man. he struck him a fatal blow, for
which William was tried and sentenced
to the penitentiary for term of FIVE
years for manslaughter. There was no
malice in the act and no one regretted the
circumstances more keenly than William
for he was man of kind and generous
nature. Friends of the father believe
that the misfortune of his son aggravated
the disease of which he died, for he made
strenuous efforts on Williams behalf as
only kind father can do.
Soon after William went to the peni-
Tertiary he became acquainted with a
man who was incarcerated there by the
name of John Carr, who was under con-
| tinement for life on charge of murder
committed in the same state. Carr be-
lieved himself to be judicially wronged
in his sentence and confinement, but he
was without hope. Into William Cox:
kind and listening ear he told the story
of his troubles and what he believed t
be the unjust dealing of the Law
towards him. His piteous com
plants found sympathy in Williams
heart, and being possessed of little
property, he agreed to mortgage his farm
for $1,000 to employ firm of lawyers il
Lincoln. Neb., to try and secure Carr
release, The lawyers were employe,
